As some of you have already noticed, this blog has undergone some major renovation over the past month. I've been trying to add a hint of professionalism in the design to accompany what I hope is high-quality writing. At one point I wanted to move everything over to my own hosting, but after a few snags and a bit of frustration I was forced to just add a domain name to this site and redecorate i

From the news this morning:Caroline Kennedy, who wants to fill Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's seat, has not voted in a number of elections, including one race for the very job she is seeking.

By comparison, the general electorate gave Obama a six-point advant

All eyes were on young voters in swing states.There is no doubt that among the young there was, indeed is, an energy and excitement – and, I daresay, an optimism – about this election that other’s just haven’t produced.Young people were asking each other, “Did you vote yet?” It was the only story in the media

In a staggering turn of events, voting machine DRE 700 has stolen the election to become the true 44th president of the United States.       

Yesterday, I - like many of you - sacrificed my time to take part it an historical election. You all know that my choice didn't win, but the 3 hours it took for me to vote was still worth it.While we were in line, the question crossed my mind - "What is worth a sacrifice of time?" Most people there were dressed for work. One woman even got a call from a client who was asking about their 10:00 a

This morning I woke up at 6:15 am, anxious to cast my vote for the next President of the United States. Unlucky for me however, I had to wait another two and a half hours before I could actually vote. No, the voting line wasn't two and a half hours long.

I have a confession to make.I just voted for the very first time.Ack! It makes me cringe to admit it out loud. I did register to vote when I turned 18, but I soon moved out of the state for college without having had the chance to go to the polls, and haven't re-registered since.My main reason was the fear of jury duty.

Another 20 states ban voting only if a court has determined that the individual sp
